Words that rhyme with Tang
For lyric work, tang behaves as a common-tongue word. Sound-wise: one-syllable, vowel on the short /æ/, finally it hums to a nasal close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Take the lyric role separately and it's a household-word. When the strict column thins, the family column is the most singable next step.

Why tang rhymes the way it does
Pull tang apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 81, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 6,548, and consonance 328. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Tang is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
